Selecting the right application can be a difficult task. That is why we have created the following information that will help you decide which Open Windows Contracts application fits your requirements the very best.

Software or Service?

Do you want to install a piece of software? if so you need to be looking at either contracts-ESSENTIALS, or contracts-ENTERPRISE. contracts-NOW is a subscription service (or Software as a Service), and while the other applications can be delivered this way, contracts-NOW is subscription only.

If you want a subscription service application, which means we host the software and you log in when you need to, from anywhere in the world, you need to look at contracts-NOW. If you need a bit more contract management functionality, then ask us about contracts-ENTERPRISE, it's got the lot, and we can deliver it as a hosted solution if that is what you need.

Functionally speaking

Contracts-NOW and contracts-ESSENTIALS are designed as contract management systems with 'essential functionality', the stuff you really need now, and you're happy to add more advanced functionality later. These give you a core data and document repository, supplier or party details, solid reporting and milestone reminders, so you can deal with potential issues before they blow up in your face. The only difference is contracts-NOW is a website, and contracts-ESSENTIALS is a piece of software that you can install and administer on your server. Both can be licensed for unlimited users.

If you're interested in either of these products, evaluate the functionality by signing up for a free contracts-NOW account. Afterwards, if you want contracts-ESSENTIALS, you can come back to this website, buy it, and download the software.

Vendor selection

We're glad you came. Open Windows Contracts solutions have been available for 15 years, well before most contract management vendors were even thought of. Our ENTERPRISE application suite is generation 6, and used by over 150 enterprise clients. This means that all those 'nice to have' usability features have been incorporated over the lifecycle of the product, and the breadth of functionality for managing contracts is exceptional.
